The Beckhams have it all, including a £73 million global property portfolio spanning London and Miami, so it's refreshing to see them spending down-to-earth family time just like the rest of us over Christmas.
David Beckham and his wife Victoria took the youngest members of their brood, Cruz, 18, and 12-year-old Harper, to visit his mum Sandra on Thursday, where they enjoyed a classic English meal of gammon, fried egg, and chips (which just happens to be the footballer's favourite meal!). Proving they're just like any other family, the former Manchester United star joked that his sister Joanne had left him all the washing up to do.

Fans were loving the rare glimpse at his family's pristine home. Sandra's kitchen/dinner is simple yet swish, featuring grey kitchen units with silver handles and dark marble countertops.

The Beckhams have invested much of their fortune into real estate, including their £31 million mammoth Holan Park townhouse, a Miami penthouse, and a Dubai pad, as well as a luxury yacht.

The Beckham clan spent Christmas at their second countryside home in the Cotswolds, which has very different vibes from David's mum's home.
As rustic as Sandra's abode is modern, the £6 million farmhouse is the picture of rural bliss – in fact, it looks strikingly similar to the luxury Soho Farmhouse nearby.

Twinkling festive garlands adorned the wooden balcony while a floor-to-ceiling glass window flooded the rustic kitchen with natural light.

The outside of the property is equally impressive. The gardens were transformed with the help of three-time Chelsea Flower Show winner Marcus Barnett, who created their very own "fairy tale garden".

Young Harper also has her very own tree house on the grounds, a private custom-made sanctuary where she can escape from her older brothers Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, and Cruz.
